I was banded on 3/31 of this year and I had my first fill 5/11. I did well with my first fill...I lost 8lbs in 4 weeks. My second fill was on 6/9 and I was only given .5cc because of being on the 'high end' of losing the weight. When I went for my second fill, I had lost a total of 33lbs since my pre-op. Since my second fill, it seems as though I want more to eat and actually can eat more than before :thumbup:. I'm not scheduled for my third fill until after the 4th of July. I think I have lost 2lbs since my fill. Has anyone else had this problem with having a small fill and still being hungry and able to eat more. I can't eat near as much as I did before the band, but somedays I feel like I could eat a barrel of ice cream :bored:! I have a total of 4.5 cc's in a 10cc band.

R you making sure that you are measuring out your portions? You can stretch the pouch out if you are not careful. And if you are eating things like soup or ice cream you will be able to eat just as much as before because the liquid will go straight through. Also try eating with a baby spoon it takes you longer to eat so you fill up faster. Hope this helps!

I feel your pain. I had my third fill two weeks ago. After 1st fill, I was up .2 of a pound at doc's office. After second fill, Ihad lost 2 pounds prior to number 3. I'm on a plateau and can't break loose. I've lost 46 total since March 12, 09, but somewhat frustrated...don't know what to tell ya.
